There's tea cups, coughdrops and vitamin C, all poured down my sore throat, combined with a new gym membership (to somehow work off the memory of getting drunk at the family party along with the extra fat)   

There's mistletoe and stale cookies in the bin along with the nauseating aftertaste of too much cheer and love-thy-neighbour (not to mention your little sister)  

There's schools and workplaces begrudingly filled with ugly ties from the in-laws and misshaped knits from gran. All emitting heavy sighs.

There’s:
Fridges filled with lettuce and tomatoes


            .. and the slight minty tinge of new beginnings.

For *ElectroBaby's contest thing "A year in the making" [link]

It's a drabble and the first thing I've written since september. Will be edited, I just needed to get something out there. If I can get out just a couple more things I think my writers block will loosen up. Or, I really hope so.

It's nice to see you writing again. :) Sort of like a minty tinge.

hey hun, welcome back to the madness of DA!

It's good to see you writing again- just be careful not to write too 'listy'.
